Wendy had been an award-winning anchor for a local TV station, WTAE, for many years. After a mass shooting in Wilkinsburg in 2016, she made some (non-violent) comments that displeased certain people, and so was pulled off the air on that station. She was later hired as a radio host by KDKA and presented in an unabashedly conservative, pro-Trump style.

As far as looters are concerned there used to be a “looters will be shot” order. You’ll think twice about burning and looting if you are a target.

Well, would it be OK just to trap them? Like catch and release?

It’s not her fault. It’s the fault of commie linguistic activists and morons who use their terminology.

Rioters = protesters

Really? Those commies aren’t protesters. They’re rioters. Police should use bird shot skipshots from shotguns to stop riots.

Don’t use the terms of communist/fascist linguistic activists. To do so is to fall into one of their traps.

If I recall correctly, Bell wiggled out of the Wilkinsburg kerfuffle by claiming reverse discrimination. She claimed that a black person would not have been fired for making the same comments she had made. Bell was right, by the way.

I’m sure Bell’s solid pro-Trump stance has offended her employers. So she will not wiggle out of this one as easily.

She should have said, “Looters should be shot” instead of merely “Protestors should be shot.”

Good for her.

Sorry she had to lose out, though.

But she has the correct view.

They have LONG overstayed any welcome, and pushed the envelope.

We are in a back-stabbing knife fight in a sewer, a sewer fight not of our choosing.

Those who, at this time, call for strict adherence to the Marquess of Queensbury Rules, are either hopelessly naive suckers, or enemy traitor moles.

This Wendy Bell?

Man Who Accidentally Listened To Wendy Bell Show Suing KDKA Radio Over Lost Brain Cells

A man who was passing through Pittsburgh is suing KDKA radio for damages due to a decline in his cognitive abilities after inadvertantly hearing one of their programmes earlier this week. He claims he was flipping through stations when the radio malfunctioned and couldn’t be changed or turned off.

She is saying what many want to say. But read the headline. Notice she did not use the world “Protesters”. That is the lie and the propaganda. No one with half lick of common sense would call them protesters.
